SMOKESTACK (a $1.29 game put out by the same company)
It is meant to be played in cars. There is a map of U.S.
with multiple paths. Each space has an object such as
hydrant, barn, etc. next to it. Players start at west
coast and move to east. They move from space to space
(peg in holes) as they see the adjacent object along the
path they are traveling. Each player has two white pegs.
These can be used to fill a hole when you can't find
the object. If you see a smokestack when it is the next
space in your path you can take two white pegs from the
board to use again. (Filed in 1968 Ad Clips).

path across the newly placed piece. Score for length of
completed path. (Intend to get this.)
BUY OR SELL - 2 play. Chart pieces are placed in turn starting
with each players "start" line. Each chart piece has a
series of numbers for + and and others for - (the 6 numbers
of a die). Each time a piece is placed the die is thrown to
set whether the next will be a + (up) or - (down). A player
in turn can play on either his own or opponent's chart. Chart
pcs. are chosen from a common face up group (how many?).
Win by reaching the top or forcing opponent to bottom. If
neither happen and both side [crossed out] players reach other side best
performance (?) wins. (V.P. told me it was primarily a luck game.)
COOPERATION: A game for 4 to 6 in two or three partnerships.
There is a path leading from start to finish, with some
alternate branches. There are penalty spaces. When a player
